5 - If you chose a language that uses multi-byte characters, you must
configure the fonts appropriately. Read the manual page for XCreateFontSet
to have more details about it. You must change the ~/G/D/WindowMaker file
for fonts used in titlebars, menus and other things. For fonts used in
dialog windows, change ~/G/D/WMGLOBAL. The %d in the font names must not be
removed. You can also use the supplied wsetfont script for the task.
Read the script itself for instructions.
For example, you can specify the following in ~/G/D/WindowMaker:
WindowTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*";
MenuTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*";
MenuTextFont = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*";
IconTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-8-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-12-*";
ClipTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-10-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-12-*";
DisplayFont = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-12-*";
and in ~/G/D/WMGLOBAL:
SystemFont = "-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
BoldSystemFont = "-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
The above 2 fonts are only used by applications that use WINGs (WindowMaker
and WPrefs.app)
The wsetfont script that's supplied will allow you to change the font
settings in a easier way. Take a look in the script for details on usage.

NEWS for veteran Window Maker users
-----------------------------------
--- 0.81.0
--- 0.90.0
NetWM / EWMH Support
--------------------
Support for the EWMH standard has been added. Applications from GNOME 2.x and
KDE 3.x should now interoperate better with Window Maker.
Support for the obsolete/legacy GNOME 1.x, KDE 1.x and OpenLook(!) hints was
wiped out for the sake of sanity.
Antialiased font support
------------------------
With the addition of support for antialiased fonts in the WINGs library, now
Window Maker can also support antialiased fonts.
With the addition of Xft2 support in the WINGs library, now
Window Maker can display antialiased text with TrueType or any scalable fonts.
Antialiased text can be enabled either by adding AntialiasedText = Yes;
in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker or by launching WPrefs and checking the
"Smooth font edges" in the Expert User Preferences panel.
You can pick fonts for Window Maker in the Font configuration section of
WPrefs.
Antialiased text is enabled by default, but can be disabled by adding
AntialiasedText = NO; in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL
Note that bitmapped fonts look much better than TrueType when antialiasing is
disabled.
Global Submenus
---------------
@@ -38,6 +52,31 @@ or, in case you want a submenu:
("Blabla", EXEC, blabla)))
UTF-8 Support
-------------
Window Maker now uses UTF-8 internally (and thus can display UTF-8 text
in window titles and other places). Menus and po files must now be
encoded in UTF-8. If your menus contain non ASCII characters, you can convert
them to UTF-8 with the following command:
iconv -f <current-file-encoding> -t utf-8 <filename> > <filename>.utf8
For example:
iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 menu > menu.utf
mv menu.utf menu
Icon Panel for Alt-Tabbing
--------------------------
A panel with icons for the windows that you can switch to will appear
when you press Alt-Tab. You can navigate through the windows with Alt-Tab
(Alt-Shift-Tab) or with the left/right keys once the panel is shown.

@@ -12,9 +12,6 @@ To do before next release:
1. make AntialiasedText in WMGLOBAL work
2. make wmaker read old xlfd, but warn about them so people use convert
(I think it reads them, but the warning needs to be added)
3. Set the default font
4. Change all xlfd fonts we still use hardcoded in wmaker/wprefs
5. Update NEWS/Changelog (remove old info that only applies to xft1)
